^^^^^^^ . THOS. J. ADAMS, WOFRT"I^GEFIEWSX?^DA^ MAY 15, 1881 j VOU XL1X.-NO. 28. A SU MAI ER DAV. With head on fingers interwrought I lie with all the world at peace ; Each sun-gilt cloud a golden fleece As rich as that which Jason sought. Beneath the elua tree w here I lie, I see within the brook a trout From 'neath a sunken log look out, And scan the pool with wary eye. With gleams of iridescent light, The dragon-fly on gauzy wing Above the stream hangs hovering, Then like an arrow out of sight. I catch a flash of flittering flame, And, from her hammock hanging near, The mother oriole can hear As soft she sings her sweetheart's name. Tte soul of hearing tense and bare, I hear a drowsy drone, and see From bloom to bloom the bumble bee Lounge through tho amber, wino-warra air. * Then every uote of bird-born sound. That clown of all the feathered tribe, The catbird, mocks with merry jibe An echo of full-voiced rebound. Through half closed lashes' shading mist, A slanting stair the sunlight's rays, The far-oil'hills swim in a haze Ol' purple, gold and amethyst. Beneath the suu's alchemic test, Dull, dust-like notes to life arise, And golden-dinged, the butterflies, Float on the topaz, air at rest. Unto their work the mowers lean, 1 hear the swish of swinging scythes, Before whoso sweep the tall grass writhes. And falls behind lu waves nf greor.. And, giving voice to joyous verse, Pitched to the whetstone's treble ring, To me are borne the airs they sing As thongh forgot the primal curse.. The patient oxen bow and strain To storm browned barns from meadow tield?, With harvest which the summer yields High piled upon the creaking wain. Loosed from tho school-house near the town, A group of children laugh and jest, The buttercup's chin shadow test, And blow the dandelion's dowu. Adown tho West tho snu sinks }ow, As grows the twilight comes a hu6h, Save where with vesper chant the thrush Sings in the sunset's afterglow. -Ben. D. House in the Current. Human's Hork. By Rev. C.. W. Hall. [An Addre*x Dtlivered al the Floridaj Baptist Co7ivenlion, Lah'' CU}/.] The female part of mankind have never occupied as high a position in | society in heathen lauds as iu coun tries where the teachings of divine revelation are known. The heathen "".oman is considered by her lord s?? mon-aa i haaat nf hm den. a -.Mpfeja Tirucrge.?PTn &ztf proportio: ^^to the. amount of Bible huowfeug any people possess, just that mud woman is elevated, loved and res pected. Look among the savages o Africa, India and the wild Indians c .America. Look at the hundreds o :mil!ions in China, where her exist fence is regarded as a misfortune, he liife a burden, and h*r death a relict In Mohammedan lands, where ih people have a partial belief iu tii? true God, ber condition is just a littli better. In Roman Catholic councriei they come a little nearer the Bible Woman's condition is something bet ter than among 'he followers ot th< false prophet But not until we corni to Bible lands, where all have fre< and full access to God's Holy Woid (to we find woman elevated to hei true position in society. 1. Woman was created for th< helpmeet for man (Gen. ii : 18) Miriam, the sister of Moses ant Afiron, aa a prophetess, assisted bet brothers (Ex. xv : 20. Mary anc Martha, of Bethany, were uni'ec with their brother, Lazarus, to enter tain the Saviour. Aquila was assist ed by hi3 wife, Priscilla, in teaching the great Apollos the way of God more perfectly. They also were help era of Paul in his missionary work Phoebe, a sister in the church at ' Cenchrea, also helped Paul in his : missionary service. 2. Upon some occasions, it seemed .necessary that women should be lead tere in gook works. Deborah, the vpxofhetesa and judge of Israel, was the leader of God's people against their enemies, while the timid Barak would cot go forth to battle without her. Jael, a woman ol Israei, killed Sisera, and the honor cf the victory upou that occasion was given to a woman. Lydia is named as leading the way in believing tne gospel, and, in obedience to Christ, was the first baptized at Philippi, and the first one in that heathen city to invite the apostles into her house. It was a woman that led the inhabitant of Samaria to belive on Chriet. S. Esther was instrumental at one time of saving the whole Jewish peo pie Irom a cruel death. (See book of Esther.) Especial mention is made of Rahal and Ruth. 4. Hannah's name stands upon the inspired record as making the noblest and purest offering of condec? alion to Qod's service ol anv mentioned in Old Testament history. (I Sam. i: ?) 5. A Gentile woman, by her im portunate faith, obtained a blessing ihat had not been promised-the most remarkable instance cf faith mentioned in tbe New Testament. Matt, xv: 21-28; Maikvii:2C) 6. A woman of Samaria, was bless cd in receiving, from the lips of the .:'aviour, one of the most beautiful httd important discourse? left on re J cord, in which He declared Hi msc i to be tbe Messiah. (John iv.) j 7. The poor widow, who cast hi j mites into the treaeury of the Lon j gave more, in the estimation of ot j Saviour, than any other. (Mar xii: 42) 8. Mary of Bethany, with her bo of precious ointment, did a lovin service for Jesus, which placed he name high on tbe roll of honor in th New Testament. 9. The women who formed then selves into a society, to minister unt the necessities o? the Saviour wit their substance, followed Him "a He went through every city and vii l?ge, preaching the glad tidings c the kingdom of God." "Mary, calle? Magdalene, Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, am many others," formed the society. 10. Woman followed Jesus not onl; as He went about doing good, bu even to the cross. When His disci pies-the strong men-forsook Hin and r u away in fright, timid, gentle weak women remained, braviug eve ry danger. And when they conk minister to his wants on earth n< longer, with tender, loving handi they prepared the embalming spices and battened to His tomb. And i woman is the first to greet Him aftei He arises from the dead. And eb? is honored to receive the first ines enge given to auy one alter his glori ous resurrection (Mark xvi: 9; .Tobn sx : 17.) The text in I Cor. xiv : "5 has evi dently been misconstrued. For while it is improper for woman to enter the pulpit and become a public preacher of the gospel, yet it is plain, from the teachings of the New Testament, that she hus more to do than simply attend the meetings of the church and s:t, an idle spectator of what is being done for the advancement of the cause of Christ. If lhere ia a Ladies' Missionary Society in your church, are you a member of it? If not, why not? And if a member, are you discharg ing your full duty as a member? Ii there is no Society in your church, will you go to work at once and or ganize one as soon as possible ? The I voice of Jesus is sounding, oh, how I sweetly and earnestly, " Go work in I my vineyard to-day." Listen! You j can almost hear him eay : ! I gave my life for theo. What hast thou given for me. j .. Let our eiaters arm themeelvea with the truths of the Bible injtheir heads Spirit, and constrained )?mm^muve o: Jesus, let them work patiently and prayerfully to induce every 'amily to take and read the Flo, i Ja Baptist Wittiest, the Foreign Jfimon Jour nat, the Heathen Helper, and other j good, religious literature. By these I means ali the enemi*^ mentioned can be overcome. Do not escude yourself, my sister, on the plea that you are weak and incompetent; this excuse will not paea current in heaven. Follow the ex ample of Esther. Do like Mary did; go .-?t at the feet of J et ns. Leam of Him all you need to know. Get from Him and His word every qualification you I need lo have. Thi-n go to work; I pray and work : trust and work ; hope I aud work. And when the warfare ia ever, and a voice so sweet that it will enrap ture thy spirit with ecstatic bliss for j ever fhall speak to thee and any, j ''Weil done, thou good and faithful ! servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord." Soiilb Carolina Republicans. Hon. D. T. Corbin, of South Caro lina, was in the city last week. He is a delegate to Chicago. He reports the eightein votes of his State as safe for Arthur as long as there is a prospect of nominating him. In the event ol being obliged to go for a second choice the delegation will make an effort to be united for some one who can moat surely carry the great States of New York and Ohio -especially New York. Personallyi the preference of the delegates take a wide range. Gen. Smalls haB a strong leaning for Logan, and thera are several who think with him ; Blaine has several friends. Aa a na ! ti ve of Vermont, Mr. Corbin prefers j Edmunds. If Gen. Grant's uame j should be mentioned he would doubt I less get the delegation nearly Bolid. | j But there is, so far, no other under- j j standing than that the vote will go to j j Mr. Arthur ?z loug as there is a j chance to nominate tiim.- Washing j lon Capital.

The Fight in the Fourth District j (Columbia Cor. Augusta Chronicle.) It seeaiB to be pretty well settle i that the liveliest Congressional rac j ic the State will be in thia, the Fourt i District. The following candidat* j are said to be in the field : Col. L< j Roy F. Youmans, Col. Wm. Wailac and Col. F. W. McMaster, ali fror Columbia, and Col. McKissick, ( Union, Col. W. H. Perry, of Greer ville, and Col. Evins from Spartan burg. This leaves Laurens the otbe county in the district, without a can didate, but that county also wi! doubtless be heard from before th nomination is made, as she too ha BO me good Congressional timber. Al of the gentlemen named are lawyer, aud distinguished men. Col. You mans is ex-attoruey-generul of tb* State and perhaps the most eloquent mau in South Carolina. Col. Wallac< is State Senator from this county and a man of fiterliug worth. Col McMaster is a very able lawyer and has been conspicuous in his advocacy of the public schools ol the State. Col. Perry is State Senator lrom Greenville, isa son o? ex-Governor Perry, and like his distinguished father is a man of commanding in tellect. Col. McKissick is a member of the House of Representatives from Union County. Ile is a man of great natural ability and is a gifted humorist. He was elected to Congrees during the Radical days, but ol course was counted out. Col Evins, the in. cumbent, has been three times elected to Congress and has filled the high position to the satisfaction of his con stituents. The Hon. Henry A. Gaillard, of Fairfield County, has been nominated by a correspondent cr the Winneboro' Nevon and Herald for Congress from the Fourth District, who eaye : " In electing him (Gaillard) to succeed the Hon. J. H. Evins, the peor?e of this district would not only honor him, but would do credit to their own good judgment; and the State at j largo would reap a rich harveet from the long experience, earnest faithful ness and acknowledged ability of a representative so amply qualified to fill this important and responsible posi tion in our National Legislature." * -? . -?-?-*???----. Hydrophobia in Augusta. On Friday afternoon a young col ored woman, named Annie Smith, died qn the Hill of hydrophobia. A Chronicle reporter, on bim and learned the facts ol' thc case. The girl waa bitten exactly Din-j months ago by a dog which show ed every symptom ot hydrophobia and both the girl and her parent; were iu constant dread that she migh at any time be taken with the terrible malady, more especially at some apecified period after having beer bitten-nine days, weeks cr mouths. ?he was taken sick about a week agc and as she had been particularly ie,ti ing this time, she at once concluded that her trouble wa.? that awful mala dy hydrophobia. She grew rapidly worse and at the sight ol water was thrown into the most terribie convul sions. She would ask for water, and when brought to her weald grasp the tumble-, look at the water, then dash it Irom her and fall back in spasms. Dr. Wilcox saw the girl and endeav ored to give her some soothiug dose, which ehe tried to swallow, but failed her throat being as dry as parchment. She lingered in this terrible condition, suffering great agony, until Friday afternoon when she became uncon scious and shortly afterwards died. The girl in her suffering was eome times very much excited, but offered no personal injury to anyone. The dog that bit her had been running loose, exhibing all the rabid symp toms of hydrophobia. TLia is tue first case of the kind occuring in Au gusta for five years and a clear case of hydrophobia. The girl waa for eeveral days without water and must have suffered excruciating agony. She was an intelligent young woman and her parents are sensible and up right.-Aug. fia Chronicle. Cheap Quinine by Tree-Trade. The Philadelphia Record reports that the combination of American and European manufacturers of quin ine which has heretofore controlled the entire market of the world, has gone to pieces, and that there has been n great redaction in the price of the drug. A prominent wholesale drug dealer in Philadelphia says that "the effect of the tumble will be lo re duce the price of pills about 10 or Lr> cents per dozen." About the 1st of January European quinine was quoted at $1 65 per ounce and American quinine at $1.80 per ounce. Duiing the first three days of last week 10, 000 ouucee were sold in New York alone. The agents of the foreign manufacturers on Saturday last of fered to deliver future orders at $1.07j per ounce. Buyers fieely of fered $1.05 per ounce. American quinine 6old in various lots on Satur day for frcm ?1.23 to $1 30 per oi.^ce It is thought the manufactuieis will soon arrive at eome arrangement, as they claim that they cannot sell at the present low figures. " Good Morning! Mr. Mellon.? ! A Pew Parting Kicks for the United stutts District Attorney. g From the Barnwell Sentinel. gS Every South Carolinian who knows Sam Melton, and all who have heard or read anything of his doable-baci acticn mode of standing aside jurors, will not believe, as he says, tfcajpa discontinuance of the political ca&fl is the result of the Government'*? ability to convict with Sooth Carolina jurieB. The Government is disgusted with Melton-that'? the idea, ancHn all probability has given h'm the choice of sliding down and outf^by the Blickest route. What makes it certain that Meltou never desired conviction on substantial', evidence was the complexion of the june&he endeavored to procure. Good morn ing ! Mr. Meltou. From thc Kershaw Gazette. Melton, with quite a flourish-of trumpets aou a would-be dramatic' posse, made the motion prefacing it with a long-winded speech. He seem ed to feel at last that he was in a bad box, and seeks to :ake upon himself the credit of stopping them, at the same time of throwing the blame of inaugurating them upon his chief, the Attorney General. The good people of the State do not feel under any special obligation to either of them for the cessation of persecntioo, and do not care which of the two be .jun them. They have felt the iron heel of despotism, and it is a re lief to know that a halt is cried. From the Anderson lntellUjencer. No one blames Mr. Melton for pros ecuting cases which were Bent np to the court. E/en if they were trivial Le had the right to have them passed on by the court, but ejery right minded mau is obliged to condemn, in unmeasured terms his efforts to pack juries for the purpose of secar ing partisan verdicts upon partisan and in many instanced perjured testi mony. It is a discredit to his repu tation to have prostituted his abili ties to no base a purpose, and it will require years of proper conduct for him io eiiace it. From the Chester Reporter. Why didn't Mr. Melton exercise his " discretion" at the first? He saw the end from the beginning. He was well aware that these cases had no foundation in truth ; that they were trumped np in the interest of de feated candidates, or to gratify pei>' credit for discontinuing the cases, for ii a conviction by means of a packed' jury and fast witnesses could have been obtained, innocent men would now be languishing in Albany Peni tentiary. Fr-?,,i, th>: LancitiUr Review. Democrat as we are to-day, we do not hesitate to hail this action of the United Stales Court ?ta the harbinger of growing respect for our common country, und of the increased happi )ie::? and prosperity of all classes of out people. Fruin thc iUticiyh y<:v:s unit Observer. The political prosecutions in South Caroliua that were conceived in sin and born in iniquity have died in gloriously and uo longer encumber the dockets uf the Federal Court. U liv lt Is So. There xeerna to be a complaint of Bhort rations iu certain sections of the State. This should surprise no one. It is obliged to be the case when we raise very little else than cotton. Cotton and the Lien Law are ruining our State. We make thia prediction : " Thal just so long os the Lim Law remains on our statute booh, just BO long will there be scarcity oj provi sions iv thc State." "Repeal it and u-c viii hoc: an abundance oj corn, ?>:Ii<a!. oats and meat." There is no money for the farmer at the present price of cotton, and in order to make farming pay, suppli?e for both man and beast must be raised at home. To repeal the Lien Law to go into effect immediately v/ould be hard on numbers of farmers, and time ehould be allowed them to get themselves in a better conditio?1 to cruet the gr^at change. The House of Representatives had the backbone to repeal the law last winter but the Senate backed down and refused to sustain the House. Members of the Legislature daim that if you repeal the Lien Law, you take away from the farmer his basis of credit. This is done to catch tho popular vote, no doubt. We take the position that no mau can show that thia law is of any benefit to the farmers of the State. The people of Abbeville county ?hould ascertain the sentiments of every candidate for legislative honora, be fore casting their votes for any of them. It is decidedly to the interest of the farmer to have this law repealed and he will be working against his owu interest if he votes for men who will not work for i's repeal.-fyh>do Argus, Tw Ive years ago, that ie in 1872, only 10,000 tons ol' coal were mined in Alabama.
